Party til you puke tonight

Here it is, last show of the night for Ottawa Explosion Mark I, appropriately capped by a band fronted by the guy who started up its predecessor The Gaga Weekend, Ian Manhire. As you'd expect from a big, liquored up crowd, things rapidly went from crazy to nuts when The White Wires played.

Luke shows off his snazzy new bass.

Sammy And Wolfgang try to crowd-surf Ian mid-song. This did not work. "We love Sammy and Wolfgang, but they don't understand science!" says Emmanuel.
